Huntsville Middle School

Q: Is Huntsville Middle School a good school?

Huntsville Middle School ranks 350 th of 587 Tennessee middle schools. SchoolDigger rates this school 2 stars out of 5.

Summary:

Huntsville Middle School is a public middle school in Huntsville, Tennessee, serving 243 students in grades 5-8. The school is part of the Scott County School District, which is ranked 96 out of 139 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating.

Huntsville Middle School faces several challenges, including a declining statewide ranking, from 234 out of 576 in 2020-2021 to 351 out of 580 in 2023-2024, despite an increase in per-student spending. The school's academic performance, as measured by TNReady assessments, is generally lower than the state and county averages across all subjects and grade levels. For example, in 2023-2024, the school's proficiency rates in Mathematics (26.9%), English Language Arts (26.5%), and Science (25%) were all below the state averages. Compared to nearby schools like Jacksboro Middle School and Oneida Middle School, Huntsville Middle School generally performs worse academically.

However, the school's ability to support low socioeconomic status students is a positive aspect, as the school performs better for this population, ranking 237 out of 502 in 2023-2024, compared to its overall ranking of 351 out of 580. This suggests that the school may be effectively addressing the needs of this student group, despite the overall academic challenges faced by the school. The school's student-teacher ratio has also fluctuated, ranging from 10 in 2021-2022 to 14.8 in 2022-2023, which is generally lower than the state average.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
